Tough cobblestone section that is halfway between Paris-Roubaix. You'll be pretty tired here already, so keep your wits about you. Make sure you have something to eat and drink quickly because you won't find many opportunities to refuel after this

2400 meters - 4 stars

In 14 kilometres, the riders have three fairly long stretches to choose from, of which this is the third.
Shortly before this, the riders had the strips of Hornaing à Wandignies (3700 meters) and Warleing à Brillon (2400) in front of their wheels.

At Tilloy, the riders take the narrower D158B at the D35. They pass a quiet residential area to fly up the cobblestones where the buildings stop.
Although the road is also used for daily traffic and not only by farmers, the stones are seriously bad in many places here.
After 200 meters there is a difficult bend to the right. If you drive here alone and there is no audience then there is nothing to worry about.
The corner seems quite wide, but it is not easy to go through it at high speed during the race. Many riders come here next to the cobblestones where there is fine gravel and sand where you can easily slip.
Many riders have already been on the ground in this corner.

Shortly after this follows a slight left turn that can be taken at high speed. The cobblestones remain bad and after about 1500 meters there is another turn to the right immediately after a bridge.
Due to the bridges, riders cannot ride side by side with too many, so that everything is pushed together.
It is important to sit here at the front because you also want to stay out of trouble here.

After this there are still a few gentle windings, but it is mainly the cobblestones themselves that provide the challenge.
The succession of strips starts to weigh and we are on our way to the 200 kilometer limit.
The final is coming!
